Do a barrel roll!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So a few months ago i signed up for a recuiting agency and they gave me work in a factory making cheese.. one day i was took to go on a machine that presses blocks of cheese and wasnt really given any trainning on how to use it and how not to.. there was no safety guards the pallet that put pressure on the cheese block was unstable so it was awkward to line them up. I put one block in to put pressure on them so there was room and next thing the block came out and smaked me in the mouth split the top of the inside of my mouth open bent one of my teeth back.. never called me back to work there again.. just wondering is there any point of me trying to claim?

Try it, my grandfather sued his job for sheet metal working and got lung cancer from it, made a great amount of cash.

YES make a claim!


1 - No training on how to use the Machine
2 - No safety guard

Both are strong points. You'll have no problems at all.

Some people think you don't have a chance when it comes to big companies, but you do!

Where I used to work, we took the guards off some of the machines (we all knew how to work them) and they got in the way, that's why we removed them. Health and safety lost there head when they found out..

Its a big deal.

Wish you luck bro.

Well if you were paid under the table. They would have had to inform you of a termination. I would try it man. If you have the money/time to sue do it. But don't be that dude who tries to become a millionaire suing. You'll lose, there's only so much that you can sue for that's reasonable in this case. (lost of wages) do you have scaring? It could be emotional plea possibly. Also with no training and no safe guards i'd say go for it.
